I'm confused. _nslookup doesn't require any additional module, so I guess you meant nslookup, right? And: I agree that we should have more reports about zpty on other platforms and, if possible, configure tests for it before we can really call it a supported module. But, to repeat it: in this case I really can't help much because I made sure zpty works on all the machines I have access to. Which also means, for example, that I'm not even sure if all Linuxes have pty names in the range [a-z][0-9]. And before zpty ever makes it in, we'll also have to test if the terminal-setups it uses are ok (especially the non-termios, non-termio case). We might also want to think about a better process handling and so on... Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
